Define the Interface Range
The following example shows how to define an interface-range macro named “test” to select Ten Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
5/1 through 5/4.
Example of the define interface-range Command for Macros
DellEMC(config)# define interface-range test gigabitethernet 5/1 - 5/4
Choosing an Interface-Range Macro
To use an interface-range macro, use the following command.
● Selects the interfaces range to be configured using the values saved in a named interface-range macro.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface range macro name
The following example shows how to change to the interface-range configuration mode using the interface-range macro named
“test.”
DellEMC(config)# interface range macro test
DellEMC(config-if)#
Monitoring and Maintaining Interfaces
Monitor interface statistics with the monitor interface command. This command displays an ongoing list of the interface
status (up/down), number of packets, traffic statistics, and so on.
To view the interface’s statistics, use the following command.
● View the interface’s statistics.
EXEC Privilege mode
Enter the type of interface and the interface information:
○ For a 1-GigabitEthernet interface, enter the keyword GigabitEthernet then the slot/port information.
○ For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port information.
The information displays in a continuous run, refreshing every 2 seconds by default. To manage the output, use the following
keys.
● m — Change mode
● l — Page up
● T — Increase refresh interval (by 1 second)
● t — Decrease refresh interval (by 1 second)
● c — Clear screen
● a — Page down
● q — Quit
